Old Piccadilly restaurant to see new life in December

The dining spot taking over the former Piccadilly cafeteria-style restaurant in North Charleston plans to open soon.

Cowboy Brazilian Steakhouse is aiming to open the first week of December, according to co-owner Edson Munekata, who also operates two other restaurants under the same name in Columbia and Spartanburg.

He originally wanted to open by October, but because water damage was discovered near the windows when renovations began after Piccadilly closed in July, more extensive work had to be performed on the nearly 7,000-square-foot building at 2411 Mall Drive.

The two-tiered concept includes a salad bar with close to 40 items for $17. Dinner with the salad costs $32, and lunch on Sunday will cost $25.

Diners will find red and green coasters on their tables. When they turn their coasters to green, a parade of workers will come by with 16 types of chicken, beef, pork and lamb, and guests can order their meat cooked to their liking.

The 275-seat restaurant with two private dining rooms will be open Monday through Saturday for dinner and Sunday for lunch and dinner.

Those interested in applying for about 45 positions can attend a job fair at the site early next week.
